Ireland 1984.
After Shell's mother dies, her obsessively religious father
descends into alcoholic mourning and Shell is left to care for her
younger brother and sister. Her only release from the harshness of
everyday life comes from her budding spiritual friendship with a
naive young priest, and most importantly, her developing
relationship with childhood friend, Declan, who is charming,
eloquent, and persuasive. But when Declan suddenly leaves Ireland
to seek his fortune in America, Shell finds herself pregnant and
the center of a scandal that rocks the small community in which she
lives, with repercussions across the whole country. The lives of
those immediately around her will never be the same again.
This is a story of love and loss, religious belief and
spirituality--it will move the hearts of any who read it.
